blakesbills16 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) First off, I'm new to this board, and let me start by saying I like what I'm seeing! I frequent the BBMB but this is a nice change of scenery! Anyways, the more I analyze this Bengals squad, the more confident I am that the Bills win by a large margin. I don't want to seem cocky, and trust me I'm not over looking this team (rankings aside, their defense is quite good) but I guarentee no one in the bills locker room is overlooking them either, and they will more than prepared come Sunday. It's the Bengals offense that makes me think we blow them out. It's quite possible that they're a less talented group than the Chiefs offense. At least the Chiefs have a proven winner in Cassel, a pro-bowl top 5 WR in Bowe, and a star Running Back in Charles (at least when we played them). QB Andy Dalton is certainly showing bright spots that he could turn out to be the Bengals long term QB, but theres no doubt that right now, he's a long term project, and looking just like he should... a rookie QB who makes good plays here and there, but also commits a lot of mistatkes. With Benson looking like he will be playing, I believe they're going to try and establish a run game early. I think that our Defense will continue to show their strength is run-stopping, forcing Dalton to throw more than he will be comfortable with... resulting in what could be a few turnovers. The guys at buddynixon.com talk a lot about how they feel the Bills get an easy win Sunday in the second half of their Tuesday Podcast. It's a good listen. Here's the link for that if you're interested: http://www.buddynixon.com/podcasts/buffalo-bros-podcast-9-92711 Thoughts?

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 First off, I'm new to this board, and let me start by saying I like what I'm seeing! I frequent the BBMB but this is a nice change of scenery! Anyways, the more I analyze this Bengals squad, the more confident I am that the Bills win by a large margin. I don't want to seem cocky, and trust me I'm not over looking this team (rankings aside, their defense is quite good) but I guarentee no one in the bills locker room is overlooking them either, and they will more than prepared come Sunday. What I want to see out of the Bills on Sunday: 1) a quality start, offense and defense. There's a joke on one fan BB that from now on, Chan Gailey is going to spot the other team 21 points at the coin flip before kickoff. I want to HEAR the hitting on Defense like we did in KC. I want the O to put together a nice, steady point-scoring grind in one of their first 2 possessions. This falling behind by 21 points schtick will get us blown out if we build it into a habit. 2) a sturdy finish. No letting the other guys hang around and climb back in it with strings of unanswered points. Stay strong and close the game on D. No mistakes on O and at least one more steady, point scoring drive on the offense 3) continued positive TO ratio I think the Bengals are a better defensive team than the Chiefs, though I wish folks would stay off the NFL.com statsline. Those who say at 3 games out, the stats are measuring the quality of the opponents at least as much as the quality of our team, are Right on. Sort by "points per game" and "yards per play" and look at stuff like penalty yards and third down conversion if you want to learn something. Cincy locker room has to be going through a lot of "churn" right now, and it will be interesting to see how they deal with it. They just might circle the wagons and come out tough. It really depends on the quality of the players, and I have no opinion on that. Aside: How on earth can you find 6 lbs of tea to go with FedEx delivery of 2.5 lbs, and no one gets arrested? Is that so commonplace in Northern Kentucky the cops just shrug or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with you, we need to start putting drives together and scoring points early in these games... no doubt if we continue this streak of late starts that it will catch up to us and hinder our season and possibility of a playoff run.

Scrappy Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I don't even think it's close, the Bills smoke Cincy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakesbills16 Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) See Steelers@Colts I've got a bad feeling that they're looking bast the Bengals to the Giants and Eagles I don't think they do man. This team still has that bad taste of starting 0-8 in their mouths from last season... If you've read any of the players quotes from this week or heard any of their interviews... they're all going into this game like they're facing New England again. No way this team with their early new born success starts getting arrogant... remember what our team is mostly composed of, late round picks and UDFA's who had to over come adversity to be where they are today. I don't even think it's close, the Bills smoke Cincy. I'm with you. I may have gotten a little overly-optimistic in the podcast by stating the Bills beat them in Chiefs fashion 41-7 lol... but I think 32-13 is a more reasonable, accurate prediction.

Mr. WEO Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 It will be a Bills blowout. Players don't prepare all week for one team yet "look past" that same team to a game a week or two beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max997 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) its a scarey game for the Bills after the big win last week but they shouldnt be overlooking anyone AJ Green is already showing how good he is and Benson can still run the ball I dont care if they blow them out or not, as long as they come out ready to play and of course win Edited September 29, 2011 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That TD where he kept his feet in bounds showed tremendous balance and skill. It will be interesting to see how he progresses here in week 4. Also a good match-up and challenge for Florence or McKelvin. As for Benson, I think the guy is past his prime. Especially with all his legal issues providing a distraction for him right now.

It would be nice to see some sacks this week. We talked about that on Tuesday's podcast... Cincinnati's offensive line is very weak, this could be a game where we actually have a consistent pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrod424 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Fitz has a really bad game, goes on to fall asleep standing in the pocket and gets sacked for a safety. Bills win 203 to 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Caveman Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I don't think the Bills will overlook the Bengals. I do think the Bengals will be desperate, and thus dangerous. They will come out with a lot of intensity, and if we don't match it, we could be down early again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim in Anchorage Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Bills in a blow out. A rejuvenated Ralph Wilson does the Icky shuffle on the sidelines, further enraging hapless Cincinnati fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 They aren't talented enough to look past anyone, which is a good thing in this case. They know they need to stay focused on the current opponent which should give them a great chance at yet another win this week. If they play smart and virtually mistake free like they have been the first 3 weeks you have to like their chances against the Bungles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
